Small Diameter Crimped Splice Connection
Small Diameter Crimped Splice Connection
(OP)
I'm looking for a small diamenter cable splice. I need to connect 2 x 16AWG wire and then push the connection through a hole no larger then 0.250". The connection must use crimps (no solder) as well as be insulated (no heat shrink) as the connection will be made in a hazardous environment. To top it off it needs to be able to handle up to 350°F.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Small Diameter Crimped Splice Connection
In an old catalogue I have found several options for you.
1> 16-14 awg butt splice Nylon insulated, OD .148
2> 16-14 awg butt splice Vinyl insulated, OD .202
3> 16-14 awg butt splice, Bare OD not given,
Insulated with;
4> Kynar heat shrink tubing -67F to +347F If you have a little wiggle room on the temperature.
5> Teflon (TFE) heat shrink tubing -88F to +482F
6> Teflon (FEP) heat shrink tubing -88F to +392F
I know you said no heat shrink, but I doubt that you will find an insulated connector rated for 350F.
If this must meet NEC, you may have a challenge.

I just learned that Teflon heatshrink exists. I'm not sure exactly where that will be useful, but it is handy to know when the time comes. Thanks!

What was in the flyer? I'll have a poke about on their website later on.

I think the term "focussed" is a bit of an exaggeration these days, the CPC catalogue seems to have a bit of everything in it.
And they're part of Farnell now.
